Daniel Briere will miss at least two weeks while recovering from a wrist injury, HockeyBuzz.com reported, citing a German-language report from Eishockey.de. That's not what the Flyers want to hear with chatter about the season starting.

Briere, 35, re-upped with Eisbaren Berlin of the German league on Thursday—there's an escape clause in the deal to allow him to return to the NHL, CSNPhilly.com reported.

The bigger concern for Briere and the Flyers is his injury, which is being called a bone bruise. Briere is a skilled player who scored 16 goals and tallied 33 assists in 2011-12, so a bum wrist might limit his effectiveness.
